    Robert,

    I hate how this sounds, but I'm going by what my instructor tells me. This would ordinarily be suspicious, except that my instructor is one of Chibana's students. I've asked him about...

    I'm disinclined to believe that Chibana was a student of Motobu in the sense that Chibana trained under Motobu in a student-teacher relationship. I'm more inclined to believe that the two of them...
